Coleman and Brumlow make most of exemptions at Club Car Championship

Hamilton Coleman and Buck Brumlow, two talented golfers with deep Georgia roots, were awarded exemptions to play in the 9th annual Club Car Championship and both appeared at the Landings Golf & Athletic Club last month for a Media Day event. On Thursday, the duo played in the same threesome together, along with Petr Hruby, in the first round of the Club Car Championship. Both played excellent rounds in windy afternoon conditions as each shot 4-under par 68s on the 7,185 yard Deer Creek Course layout.

Coleman, an Augusta native and senior at Lakeside-Evans High School, is one of the top junior golfers in the world. The 17-year-old won the U. S.

Junior Amateur Championship in Dallas last July and also won the 2024 Junior Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. He has signed to play at the University of Georgia. Brumlow played at the University of Georgia, where he graduated in 2025 and is a graduate of Cartersville High.

He won the 2025 Ford Collegiate in Richmond Hill. Coleman and Brumlow sit in a tie for 29th as they both look to make the cut Friday playing in their first Korn Ferry Tour appearances. Despite the pressure of playing with the pros, both put together rounds without carding a bogey.
